92 - How did we get to the Voice?
Listen now
Description
Ben is joined by Eddie Synot to discuss the proposal for a Voice to Parliament - where it came from, the history of constitutional recognition and national representative Indigenous bodies and what it might look like. We discuss the likely democratic structures of a Voice and why it probably won't look much like the Langton-Calma model. We also discuss some of the criticisms of the proposal from opponents.
